Trivia
Although many have said that a longstanding resentment between the two leads was started during this project, there is little to no evidence to suggest this. Quite the opposite, it was this film that started a lasting friendship between Sinatra and Kelly that spawned two other film projects. See more »Goofs
When the sailors take Donald home, he states that the door is locked. However the policeman exits via the locked door. See more »Quotes

Everything a musical comedy should be. Gene Kelly (as Joe Brady) doesn't miss a step, and Frank Sinatra (as Clarence Doolittle) doesn't miss a note. Scenes with them together are very good, showing how much talent can add to a somewhat uneven plot. Sinatra's "I Fall in Love Too Easily" is an indication of his then and future best. Kelly's "Mexican Hat Dance" with a young Mexican girl is delightful. Kelly certainly earned his nomination as Best Actor. And there is a bushel of truly funny lines, like: "You think the navy takes dopes?"; "You think anybody sings a sailor to sleep?"; and, "We got in a little trouble, we picked up a little kid." A thoroughly enjoyable movie, just the thing for shaking off the dust of a recently concluded World War II.
